Installing Daz to Blender Bridge zip file missing

denisnormandin

Hi,

Can the zip file to install the Daz bridge to blender be downloaded manually?

The instructions to install the bridge sais that I must start by installing it in Daz Studio, then go to the Blender preferences and install the add-on from C:\Users\*YourUsername*\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\DAZ 3D Add-ons\” and called DTB_v280-283.zip. 
I don't have that.

All I have under C:\Users\*YourUsername*\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender... is \2.90\scripts\addons\DTB 

No zip files anywhere along that path.

I'm using Blender 2.9

The export process seams to be working fine from Daz, but I can't import to blender since I can't find the right file.

 

Thanks

Mine was different from that. There was a folder named BLENDER_VERSION in %appdata%\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender

If you have this folder, just copy everything inside it into your actual blender version folder, then start Blender and enable the addon in the preferences.

This solved my issue but my god it was freaking confusing to get there.

 

I just want to clarify this for anyone else looking at this cross eyed.

Go to C:\Users\(user name)\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\BLENDER_VERSION\scripts\addons\DTB

Copy the DTB folder

Go to your Blender folder.  Mine was on a separate hard drive because I only use my C drive for installing programs not saving my work.  Also so I get automatic updates with steam.

Go to a Blender Version Folder named 2.xx (x's are variables so they can be any number i.e. 2.93 or 2.92) and continue through scripts and into the addons folder and paste the DTB folder under addons.  If you were in the DTB file it would look like this for your mapping.

D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Blender\2.93\scripts\addons\DTB

If you are running Blender, restart it and you should be able to find Daz to Blender addon in Blender.

If anyone has a mac, then you can do a similar process to what is discribed above.

From your desktop, click on the Go (Menu), followed by clicking on the "Go to Folder" option,  which will open a dialog box and type in "~/Library" - this will take you to your hidden Library directory/folder

From the Library directory/folder, go into the "Application Support" folder and find "Blender"

Within Blender, look for the version that you have installed. In my case I have 2.93, which the Daz3DIM and DazCentral installed the files into correctly, but since I could not see the DazToBlender menu, I thought that it did not work.

Nevertheless, go into your version folder, such as 2.93> scripts> addons> AppData> Blender Foundation> Blender> BLENDER_VERSION> scripts> addons> DTB

Copy the DTB folder and paste it anywhere easily found, such as the Downloads folder, followed by creating an Archive file of that directory/folder, by right clicking on the folder and choosing "Compress DTB" - this will create a DTB.zip file

Open Blender> Edit> Preferences> Addons> Install - navigate to the newly created DTB.zip file and it will install with no issues - see attached screenshots

If the above info might be too much for you, then the following is a dropbox link to the DTB.zip file that I used for Blender 2.93:
